Talk:Condominium (international law)

Svalbard?

That was not quite the same: On 14 May 1912 Russia and Norway agreed that Svalbard Island is to be neutral territory (article now sort of a stub; word from Latin neuter, 'neither', in stead of by both). On 9 February 1920 the World Court awarded sovereignty to Norway. 14 August 1925 Formal assumption of sovereignty by Norway (Svalbard Territory). Fastifex 17:45, 21 January 2006 (UTC)

Thanks, just wasn't sure of its exact status. I tend to think of it as Norwegian territory, with Russian tolerance. Mind you, Russia was in a state of civil war in 1920, so could hardly put a good case. --MacRusgail 20:38, 22 January 2006 (UTC)

I just try to state the legal & historical facts, leaving every reader to 'think' what he likes, including you. However, I rather doubt whether the military and political stability of either contender at the time was the determining factor in the court's ruling (international courts are generally only seized when the parties have accepted to abide by the ruling), rather the historical dossiers presented that would not be changed- whether these lead to a 'just' decision I cannot say.

Asterisks?

Why are there asterisks after Masstricht and Northern Dobruja? I cannot find anything on the page to indicate what they mean - and wikipedia doesn't generally use asterisk footnotes, if that's what they're supposed to point to. - DavidWBrooks 13:02, 30 April 2006 (UTC)

Getting no answer, I have removed them. - DavidWBrooks 11:21, 25 May 2006 (UTC)

Moselle River

I have searched on the Moselle River condominium and found that it was created by treaty in 1816. (See reference in Fiat Objects. I also found it listed in Jan Kroghs website which lists enclaves/exclaves/neutral zones/Condominiums/etc in Europe.

There is also an extencive discussion of the condominium in BoundaryPoint group. See Message 3222, Message 3312, & Message 17254 and their replies. Severl people of the group also have gone on trips the condominium and created webpages Rolf Palmberg and GCEBE 2001 (Group Effort).

why Aland is listed as principality?

I can't find explanation neighter in this article, nor in Aland. Alinor 06:53, 16 April 2007 (UTC)

Tumen

I don't think this is true:

• * The Tumen River is a condominium between China and North Korea.

• • * Part of the Tumen River is reportedly a condominium of China and North Korea adjacent to the tripoint with Russia.

The New Hebrides

The former New Hebrides was an Anglo-French condominium, with executive formally appointed by the King of Spain, which was problematic during the Second Spanish Republic and Francoist period. This should be covered. 75.216.20.178 (talk) 22:19, 3 September 2011 (UTC)

Hadf

I can find nothing that would suggest that Hadf is a condominium, nor anything else of a special nature. It seems to be simply a small town across the border from Oman's Musandam fragment. Google Maps and ACME Mapper do not show any border around Hadf, nor do they offer anything descriptive. The Hadf Wikipedia article is a one-sentence stub that says nothing about a condominium.

Unless supporting detail is provided, I suggest deleting this entry from the list.
